The season is underway … in a wet way.
The Coupeville High School cross country squad traveled to Maple Valley Saturday to participate in the Tahoma Co-Ed Relays at Lake Wilderness State Park.
The event, which drew 41 teams, was a jamboree, so official times weren’t posted, but it was a great learning experience for the Wolves.
“The season started with a splash!” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “A splashing blast!!”
Runners competed in groups of five, with a mix of male and female runners, and each harrier covering 3,000 meters.
The course was a mix of surfaces, with pavement, grass, trails, and yes, water, to traverse.
Having had their first taste of competition, the Wolves return to action next Saturday, Sept. 14 when they travel to Bellingham for the Gear Up Northwest XC Preview hosted by Sehome.
